Got a tip about DEN airport? You've come to the right place for help on getting to, through, and between Denver airport. Share your experiences with others, or post a question and get notified when there is a response.

No, that is not sufficient. You will have to go through US Immigration and customs in Denver and if you are buying a separate ticket, you will also have to claim your bags and take them to the United check-in counter. You need at LEAST 2 hours for this connection.

I am looking into flights from Boston to Rapid City, SD with United. One flight has one stop with a layover of only 33 minutes in Denver. From Denver I would be on Republic Airlines d/b/a United Express. I am concerned that I would not have enough time between flights. Am I right to be concerned?

So I have a short connection, 50 minutes, arriving from Fort Lauderdale 10.25 and departing for Calgary 11.15 . Departing gate B60. Will I have enough time?
Any advices of how to do this as fast and non stressful as possible for a pretty inexperienced traveller?
Thanx.

All you have to do is walk from your arrival gate to your departure gate. If your first flight is anywhere close to on-time you should have plenty of time. You will go through Canadian immigration and customs when you get to Calgary.

Dear all, I already have a return ticket for FRA-DEN by LH. I would like to fly from DEN to LAX for a couple of days. In this context, I have a couple of questions and I would really appreciate your help. (i) For the domestic flight DEN - LAX: How much earlier to arrive at DEN for convenient check-in (baggage&carry-on)? (ii) Which airline would you recommend for the domestic flight? Which is rather on-time usually? (iii) The return flight to FRA in DEN departs 5:25 pm. Hoch much time allowance do you recommend for easy connecting between the flights keeping in mind that I have to get my luggage from the domestic flight and check-in for the LH flight? Last but not least although off-topic: How much earlier to arrive at LAX for the domestic flight LAX-DEN? Thank you very much in advance for your help!

For your DEN-LAX domestic flight, arriving an hour before your flight is usually sufficient. Note that means being in the lobby an hour before the flight. If you need to park or return a rental car first, factor that in. Most DEN-LAX flights run on-time as the weather is generally good in both cities. Note that if you fly Frontier you will have to pay for a checked OR carry-on bag and a seat assignment. If you fly Southwest, checked bags are free but there are no seat assignments. Southwest also has the most congested check-in area in LAX. I personally would fly United but if you're comfortable and used to ULCC's in Europe, Frontier would suit you fine. I personally dont't like flying Southwest and American offers few flights on the route. I would recommend scheduling your arrival into DEN prior to 2:30 PM - that leaves you a little wiggle room if your first flight is late. Again, arriving at the airport in LAX an hour before your flight is OK, but also note that the traffic around LAX can be really bad and that the traffic in the entire LA area can be really bad at times, so be conscious of that.

ZAP, Thank you so much for your comprehensive reply! I am also considering to fly United, at least for the return flight, since it appears to be more reliable than the Low Cost Carriers. Let's say, I have not read many frantic reviews on Frontier and Spirit Airlines with regard to being on-time respectively with regard to cancelling flights last minute without reasons. Haven't researched on Southwest yet. I would not mind the lack of seat assignment but need some certainty on their "as scheduled" reliability. Certainly, I have to make my way back to Denver as scheduled to catch that LHflight. Will keep your recommendations in mind! If you have anything further to add, feel free to comment ;-)

we are traveling SW flying from Kansas City to Cancun, connecting in Denver. how long does it take to get through customs? We will have 3 people and 3 bags to check, we land at 7:30am and our connection leaves at 8:50am

Looking at Frontier flight from portland arriving at denver 13:37, is there enough time to claim bagge and check in for the 16:05 British airways flight to Europe? Seperate tickets...
What if i take a 17:50 flight instead?
Thank You

I'm looking at flying from ORD to DEN to YWG. The ORD - DEN flight lands at 9:06am and the DEN - YWG flight takes off at 9:55am. Is 49 minutes enough time to navigate with the arriving flight being domestic and the second being international?

Yes, that is enough time. domestic/international doesn't matter. They will both be on the B concourse at DEN. All you have to do is walk from your arrival gate to your departure gate. You will go through Canadian Immigration and customs when you get to Winnipeg.

Without check bags if you check in online or with the United app you can do it in an hour. With checked bags I would leave at least 90 minutes, preferably 2 hours, since you will have to go to the main terminal, get your bags from Southwest, take them to United and go through security in that case.

I'm looking at booking a United flight from O'Hare to Las Vegas connecting in Denver March 9th. Arrives at 656pm and next departs at 738pm. Both flights are United. All I will have will be a carry-on. Will I be okay?

I am flying from Minneapolis to LA with a 37 min layover in Denver. I will be flying on Frontier from MSP to DEN to LAX. Should I have enough time to make it to my next flight with a 37 min layover? All I will have with me is carry on.
Thank you.

Have a flight tomorrow. Land from Fargo to Denver at 6:15. I have another flight from Denver to SFO that leaves at 7:08.
The plane to sfo starts boarding at 6:15 however. Do I have enough time to catch the flight? Or should I make arrangements now. Thanks

Yes, you should have enough time. All United and United Express gates are on concourse B. If you do happen to miss your connection there is one later flight to SFO at 10:13 PM that currently has a lot of empty seats that you can be rebooked on.

Yeah, the only concern I have is that I have to check in my carry on since we are flying from Fargo on a smaller jet. I should be out of there in about 15 and make it to the gate in around 5-10. Would that still be enough or would the sfo fight have closed their gates?
I'd prefer not to be on the later flight, but if that's how it goes it goes.
